History of Programming Languages - During the 1980s - The Birth of C++

The 1980s were years of consolidation. C++ combined object-oriented and systems programming together. The United States government standardized Ada, a systems programming language intended for use by defense contractors.

One important new trend in language design was an increased focus on programming for large-scale systems through the use of modules, or large-scale organizational units of code. Module systems were often wedded to generic programming constructs---generics being, in essence, parameterized modules.

Some important languages that were developed in this period include:

• 1983 - Ada
  
• 1984 - Common Lisp
  
• 1985 - Eiffel
  
• 1985 - C++ (as C with classes)
  
• 1986 - Erlang
  
• 1987 - Perl
  
• 1988 - Tcl
  
• 1989 - FL (Backus)

yes thank you tyler again for taking the time and teaching us, im glad i met you, made your site a partner for ours, and im glad you said yes to join this site and post. Again, thank you.

founder: read all of the history of C++, it is quite interesting

No problem! I have enjoyed the opportunity to post on your forum. It has been very enjoyable for me. I hope my posts help you.

Thank you for this opportunity, making my signature, AND making my site your partner site. I really appreciate it.

its the least i could do, you have taught me and other readers so much about programing and i hope to learn more

im still wrapping my head around alot of it lol but its starting to get easier as i go lol

Can you show me an example of something you have programmed in C++ via PM?

are you talking to me or demon?

You haha

i havent started programming yet im still only reading i meant understanding it is getting a little bit easier... my bad didnt mean to misdirect you

Haha! It's fine.
